5.1 Batteries

This wrist GPS uses a 1600 mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack . You should charge it
fully before first using the device.

1. Turn on your PC

2. To charge the battery, connect one end of the USB cable to one of your
PC’s active USB ports, and the other end to your KeyMaze 300 GPS.

3. When the KeyMaze 300 is fully charged, the battery indicator is completely
full (if the device is on) or the words "BATTERY CHARGING COMPLETE"
are displayed (if the device is off). Disconnect the device from the port to
avoid damaging the battery.

i Important! Most malfunctions usually indicate that the battery is not charged.
To extend battery life, ensure that you charge and discharge it as fully as possible.
You should expect battery performance to reduce over time. Only charge the device
using the USB cable provided.

5.2 Turning on the KeyMaze 300 Go run

When the device is fully charged, it is ready to use.

1. To turn the device on, hold down the button until the opening screen is
displayed. All operations performed on the product in this manual assume
that the product is turned on.

2. By default, the KeyMaze 300 will automatically begin searching for GPS
satellites. Depending on your location, your speed, cloud cover and relief,
signal acquisition can take between 15 seconds and 5 minutes.

Orient the GPS towards the sky. The aerial should be pulled out and facing
upwards.

It typically takes 38 seconds to start the device from cold (at a different position
from where it was turned off and having been turned off for several hours, in clear
weather).
To turn it on from warm (after passing through a tunnel, for example), takes around
2 seconds.

NB : To save energy, it is possible to turn off the satellite search by selecting the
“TURN OFF GPS” option in the NAVIGATION menu. See the relevant section of
the user's manual for more information.

5.3 Setting the time zone

When the KeyMaze 300 is ready to be used for the first time, you will probably
have to set the time zone. Date and time information are sent by GPS signal. To
do this, carry out the following procedure:

1. Press MODE until the MAIN MENU screen is selected.

2. Current date and time are displayed at the bottom of the screen; by default
the device will assume that you are in the GMT time zone.

3. To change time zone, use the VIEW/SET arrows to select the CON­FIGURATION menu then the SETUP TIME ZONE option, and confirm by
pressing OK.

4. Press OK then use the arrows to select the correct time difference and
confirm with OK.

5.4 Positioning the KeyMaze 300 during sporting activites

The KeyMaze 300 is designed to be worn on the wrist, outside clothing. It fastens
to your forearm using a Velcro strap system.

The aerial is under the plastic cover, near the screen. For optimum performance,
the top of the device should be facing the sky. The more it is oriented towards the
sky, the better the reception will be.
The GPS KeyMaze 300 features a high-precision SiRFstarIII receiver. Even if
satellite signal reception is currently excellent, you need to take the following
precautions:
GPS signal reception is not available inside buildings. Reception will be greatly
reduced in cloudy conditions, in wooded areas, in tunnels or if the GPS is worn

7.2 Map mode

If map mode is activated, this screen displays the outline summary of your route
and the recorded waypoints.
The map is automatically oriented towards north (see diagram).
The scale is shown in the bottom-left of the screen. You can zoom in and out using
the VIEW/SET arrows (down arrow to zoom in, up arrow to zoom out).

The figure in the middle of the screen represents your current location or your last
known location. This flashes if the GPS signal is not correctly detected. In this case,
the figure will be located in the last location measured before the signal was lost.
The satellite symbol, as above, represents the quality of the positioning satellite
signal. If it flashes, the signal is not detected, and positioning on the map is not
reliable.

7.2 Positioning mode

This mode displays the numerical value of the geographical coordinates of your
current location.
The first line corresponds to latitude (north-south position in relation to the equator).
The second line is longitude (east-west position in relation to the Greenwich
Meridian).
These coordinates are made up of a letter which corresponds to a cardinal point
and an angle between 0 and 90°.
The third line corresponds to altitude (ELEVATION) in relation to sea level.

If GPS signal reception is not correct (< 3 satellites):
The coordinates will be zero (0°, 0°).
If the signal is weak (3 satellites) the 2D coordinates will be reliable but not elevation
(in the navigation menu/GPS info, the words 2D FIXED are displayed). If the signal is
full (aerial symbol displayed continually and 3D FIXED shown in the GPS INFO menu),
the coordinates and the elevation reading will all be reliable.

8. Useful functions

8.1. Measuring a sporting session and recording position data

1. At the beginning of your training session, check that:

- The KeyMaze 300 is correctly turned on and the battery is sufficiently charged
for the duration of your activity.

- The GPS signal is correctly detected (aerial icon continually displayed). If
necessary change location to get a clear view of the sky (avoid tree cover,
tunnels and high buildings) then stay as still as possible to reduce start-up
time (usually around 30 seconds).

- The device is positioned so that the aerial (under the plastic part to the left
of the screen) is oriented skywards as directly as possible.

2. Keep pressing the MODE button to go to SPORT mode. You can change the
initial view by pressing the VIEW/SET keys in order to change the information
displayed on the screen.

3. When you are ready to go, press OK to start the exercise stopwatch and to
start recording data.

4. During exercise you can stop and restart the stopwatch by pressing OK (GPS
positions will not be recorded while the stopwatch is stopped, but the distance
covered (in a straight line) will still be recorded).

5. At the end of your training session, stop the stopwatch by pressing OK.

6. Save the training file by pressing ESC and confirming by pressing OK. The file
is then ready to be transferred to PC or can be viewed immediately using the
SPORT RECORD option.

7.You can now turn off GPS or record a new sports session.

8.2. Transferring your data to PC or exporting them to Google Earth.
